Chapter 1846 Mahayana cultivators surged forth like a swarm of locusts crossing a river.
The three broken Golden Immortal inner landscapes that transformed into secret realms became treasures of the Nine Realms.
The Battle God's Fall Secret Realm originates from the power furnace of the Prison Demon Lord, and has the miraculous effect of tempering the immortal body and stabilizing the foundation of the Dao.
The secret realm of peering into the heavens can guide true immortals to condense the right Great Dao ferry, and its value is immeasurable.
The Mysterious Realm of Illusory Realms originated from the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord and is a sacred place for cultivators who practice illusion, concealment, and transformation-type supernatural abilities.
These three Golden Immortal Realms can effectively help True Immortals solidify their Dao foundation, comprehend deeper Dao laws, and accumulate resources for breaking through to True Immortal or even Golden Immortal status.
Abundant resources, superior secret realms, a relatively stable environment, and the strong desire of the surviving high-level cultivators after the great war to become stronger all contributed to the explosive growth of the core strength of the nine divine realms.
First, there was the rapid expansion of the Mahayana Buddhist community.
Thanks to the abundant spiritual energy and suitable Daoist environment provided by the fifty Spirit Source Secret Realms, as well as the massive amount of elixirs and miraculous medicines to aid in breakthroughs distributed from the spoils of war.
Many cultivators who had been stuck at the peak of the Integration Realm for many years broke through their barriers.
The Azure Deer broke through to the Great Ascension stage in the Azure Wood Secret Realm.
Hong Yaoyue broke through to the Mahayana stage in the Li Huo Secret Realm.
Bu Yueling sat in meditation on the edge of the secret realm of the Heavenly Path for a hundred years, breaking through the illusions and advancing to the Mahayana stage.
Xue Ji refined a trace of the true meaning of the Great Dao of the True Immortal Realm, found a glimmer of hope, successfully transcended the tribulation, and broke through to the Mahayana stage.
Zhang Meng, Mo Ke, Xing Yihang and other fierce generals experienced life-and-death battles in the Battle God's Fall Secret Realm, which stimulated their potential and forced them to enter the Mahayana stage.
Those whom Zhang Xuan knew in the past, such as Chunyang Daoren, Longgong Daoren, Pingtianhou, and Hongyi, also broke through to the Mahayana realm with the support of resources, thanks to their own opportunities and accumulated experience.
This is only one region of the Immortal Gourd Realm; the number of people breaking through to the Mahayana stage in the nine divine realms is even more explosive.
In just a century, the total number of Mahayana cultivators in the nine divine realms has exceeded one thousand!
Talented individuals in various fields are also advancing in their careers.
In the Myriad Spirits Cultivation Secret Realm, Fairy Miaoyin cultivated several rare eighth-order spiritual plants, thus elevating her mastery of spiritual plants to a new level.
Wei Ruyan and Fairy Yuxiang refined a batch of seventh-order golden pills within the Thousand Illusions Elixir Secret Realm.
On the day the elixir was completed, the elixir tribulation triggered a transformation in their souls, and the two of them both entered the Mahayana stage.
Zhang Ergeng's foundation was somewhat mediocre, but he eventually accumulated his strength and made a breakthrough, refining a third-stage, sixth-level golden elixir, and using the elixir to enter the Dao and advance to the Mahayana stage.
In the secret realm of weapon crafting, Tianyezi forged many treasures of the Xuan Tian realm, using these weapons to enter the Dao and advance to the Mahayana stage.
Zhang Dawu, a leading figure in the art of array formations, made rapid progress in his understanding of array formations during the process of overseeing the reconstruction of the ninth-order array. He also entered the Dao through array formations and advanced to the Mahayana stage.
The nine divine realms have been completely transformed.
A sturdy ninth-order array descended like a curtain from the sky.
Five hundred True Immortal puppets stood in a solemn array.
More than fifty spiritual source realms and three golden immortal realms are scattered throughout the area.
The auras of thousands of Mahayana cultivators soared to the heavens, and the new generation of Integration and Mahayana cultivators sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
The surge in combat power of the nine divine realms is certainly exhilarating, but it also brings a serious and real problem—resource bottleneck.
The fifty "Spirit Source Secret Realms" and three "Golden Immortal Secret Realms," along with the original dozens of seventh-order spiritual veins, were more than enough to support the hundreds of Mahayana cultivators a hundred years ago.
However, nowadays, the number of Mahayana cultivators has surged to over a thousand. Although there are no new True Immortals, as Zhang Xuan, Jiao'er, and several other True Immortals gradually recover from their injuries, the demand for high-level spiritual veins and secret realms has increased dramatically.
If a Mahayana cultivator wants to maintain his Dao foundation and make steady progress, he needs to exclusively possess a seventh-order spiritual vein or a spiritual source secret realm.
However, the nine divine realms only have a little over a hundred high-level spiritual veins and secret realms combined, so how could they possibly produce over a thousand?
If all high-level cultivators are forcibly kept within the Nine Domains, it will not only lead to a sharp reduction in high-level resources and a significant slowdown in cultivation speed, but may also cause internal conflicts due to competition for spiritual energy.
This is by no means a way to achieve long-term stability.
Zhang Xuan made a very bold decision—to divert resources and expand the frontier, while increasing revenue and reducing expenditure!
There are two readily available directions for achieving the goal.
Firstly, the Xuhai Market.
This important transit point, located at a weak point in the boundary between the two realms, had half of its ownership transferred to the Nine Divine Realms according to the agreement signed with the Xuanxu Great Realm after the war.
This place is not only an important commercial and transportation hub, but it was also built on a weak point in the boundary membrane. The surrounding void contains relatively abundant chaotic primordial energy, and after hundreds of years of development, it has become a place rich in spiritual energy.
Zhang Xuanming ordered Zhang Yuhuai, the old patriarch of the Zhang clan, to lead one hundred elite Mahayana cultivators to the Xuhai Market via a stable teleportation array between the Nine Domains and the Xuhai Market, to formally exercise the ownership rights of the Nine Divine Domains over half of the Xuhai Market.
In addition to establishing a solid stronghold and defense there, we will try to explore the surrounding void areas with the market as the core and open up new resource points.
The Xuhai Market and its surrounding environment are sufficient to support the daily cultivation needs of these one hundred Mahayana cultivators, and they can also acquire additional resources through trade activities.
This not only relieved the pressure within the Nine Domains, but also established an important outpost for the Nine Domains on the outside.
Zhang Yuhuai is experienced, meticulous, and has a long lifespan after becoming a true immortal, making him the perfect candidate to oversee such expansionist affairs.
Secondly, the Abyss of the Beginning Demon.
Through the teleportation channel between the Black Seed and the Demon Embryo, the Nine Divine Realms maintain a unique connection with the Abyss of Primordial Demons.
As a vast demon realm, the Abyss of Beginning Demons is a treacherous place, but it is rich in seventh-order spiritual veins and various high-level resources, making it an excellent place for cultivation and exploration.
The old fox has been operating deep in the Abyss of the Beginning Demon for many years, and the sphere of influence he controls is now vastly different from what it used to be.
Zhang Xuan ordered that three core True Immortals—Old Oilhead, Ninth-Order Ancient Whale, and Yu Xuan—lead three hundred elite Mahayana cultivators to the Abyss of Beginning Demons.
The objective is to expand from the areas already controlled by the old fox to the relatively safe, resource-rich surrounding areas, establish a stable base for cultivators from the Nine Domains in the Abyss of Beginning Demons, and solve the problem of cultivation resources for these three hundred Mahayana cultivators on the spot.
At the same time, some of the special resources urgently needed by the Nine Domains will be returned to the Nine Domains through the channel.
A force of three hundred Mahayana cultivators led by three True Immortals can lay a solid wedge for the Nine Realms in the Abyss of the Beginning Demon.
Upon receiving this order, the two armies quickly assembled.
One after another, beams of teleportation light appeared and then went out.
Zhang Yuhuai, leading a hundred Mahayana practitioners, embarked on the journey of managing the Xuhai Market.
Old Oilhead, Ninth-Order Ancient Whale, and Yu Xuan led three hundred Mahayana cultivators to teleport to the Abyss of Beginning Demons, thus beginning the pioneering era of the Nine Realms in another world.
With the departure of these four hundred Mahayana cultivators, the number of high-level cultivators within the Nine Divine Realms plummeted, greatly relieving the pressure.
In the core areas of the Nine Divine Realms, the only top-tier combat forces that are currently visible are the awakened Golden Immortal Jiao'er, Zhang Xuan at the peak of True Immortal, and the Western Heaven Buddha King whose golden body has been reforged into an early True Immortal.
The defense of the Nine Domains mainly relies on the newly built Zhou Tian Huan Yu Zhen Jie Da Zhen, the army of five hundred True Immortal puppets, and the hundreds of Mahayana cultivators left behind.
It may seem empty, but in reality, its core combat forces are highly concentrated, and each has an important mission.
